Bow Spray Rails

[Geoff58]

Bill (BugsToo)- did you have success installing the Smart Rails on your 58yf? We just brought ours from Fla to Ca and its one wet ride up front! Would really appreciate any comments/pix etc on the smart rails. tks.

spoke to smart rails this week re: rails for my 53c.

they have a new version of the M2000 coming out the end of october, a 3 inch version! should be able to use less rail and get more lift.

for my 53c they recommend 1 set of 3 inch for the rear, stemming 9 feet fore of the transom on each side.

they recommend 18 feet on each side from the bow, 12-15 inches above the chime with the M1000 for spray.

likely that i will heed their advice.

Can you send me a photo of the installed spray rails? As others have asked, can you give an idea of cost? I just bought a 1969 38' Hatteras tri-cabin and will be restoring and upgrading it. Since I am new to all this yet, is this something that will fit on a 38' double cabin and tri-cabin Hatteras? Send photo and any info to genebeley@aol.com

For anyone interested I had Bow Spray Rails installed on my 58YF this spring. What a huge differance it has made. It is great being able to sit on the front of the boat while underway and not get wet. I had a fiberglass shop make a mold, and now they can make Rails for anyone who would like a set. If anyone is interested in buying a set just call or e-mail me.

PLEASE EMQAIL INFO ON THE RAILS. BOAT OUT OF THE WATER AND READY TO GO RDAVIDUNGER@YAHOO.COM

Here are two sites that show permanent spray/lift rails installed, for those who are interested. http://www.sponbergyachtdesign.com/Bluebill.htm and www.starcarpentry.com/liftrails.shtml I looked at the smartrails, and they did not offer the lift I felt we needed, so we decided to make them for Boss Lady.
